Dismissed Soldier: I Spent N3m Evans Gave Me On Women, Hotels, Married

Aduba Victor Nonso, a 28-year-old ex-soldier from
Onitsha North Local Government Area of Anambra
State, has disclosed how he spent over N3million
which billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme
Onwuamadike (popularly known as Evans) gave him
for participating in several alleged crimes.
According to the ex-soldier, who said he joined the
Nigeria Army on August 15, 2009 and was posted to
Abati Barracks, women and hotels bills drained the
money and reduced him to poverty.

Aduba said;

“My income was low and it wasn’t enough to fend
for my family. One of my friends who is also from
my home town known as Ikenna, led me into crime.
He brought one of his friends, known as Skudo.
They told me that Skudo was an importer. He told
me that he imported clothes from China and we
became friends. I used to escort him to his village
whenever he was travelling and he paid me
handsomely.

“Sometime in January 2015, he called me and
asked that I should meet him at Ago-Palace Way
where he claimed he lived with his family.
‘’He told me that there was a man owing him money
and he needed me to come with my army uniform
so that I could intimidate the man with my uniform.
When I got there I saw Skudo, Ikenna, Evans and
another person inside the car.

“The front seat was empty and I entered and sat on
it. We drove towards Ajao Estate. Ikenna and Skudo
brought out two rifles and when I saw them, I was
shocked. I asked what they were doing but Evans
gave me a hot slap. He told me that I was now part
of their group. Then they brought out a cup filled
with gin and a bullet in it and they asked me to
swear never to disclose what I saw to anyone.

“After that Evans got a call from someone about
someone he had been monitoring. Evans drove fast
and he caught up with the person and kidnapped
him. Skudo, Ikenna and the other man came out of
the vehicle and kidnapped the man. While on our
way, I saw a man on a power bike and I suspected
he was the person giving information to Evans.
‘’He asked us to all alight from the vehicle and gave
me N5000, promising to call me. One month later,
Skudo called and gave N200,000 as my share,
saying the balance of the money would be paid later.
One month after that Skudo called again and said
Evans said I should come for my balance. When I
got to Ago and entered his vehicle, I sat in the front
and we drove into Festac Town where we
kidnapped a man.

“One month after, Skudo called and gave me
N1.8million as my share. I also took part in two
other kidnappings in Amuwo Odofin and Satellite
Towns where I was given N800,000 each as my
share. Evans didn’t pay me for the last operation
and he stopped calling me for jobs.
“I spent most of the money on women and hotels. I
also got married with part of the money.”
